D3 S8 top speed limiter?
Had a nice little road trip over to the Continent this weekend taking in multiple countries and while doing so came across a beautiful straight stretch of road in an undisclosed country within driving distance of Calais.
I thought it would be rude to not see what the S8 could do as of course there is no chance of trying it in the UK. It reached the 155mph limiter without breaking a sweat, I backed off for a few miles then remembered reading something written in the manual about only being able to achieve the actual top speed if in Sport mode. So tried again in 'S' and it seemed even quicker and more urgent. I'm sure I remember doing something in VCDS once which should enable the speed limiter to be removed but can't remember what that was  Definitely the perfect car for crossing countries and cruising motorways for miles on end!
